2018 provided the ideal conditions to produce outstanding quality white and red wines in Coonawarra. Above average rainfall in winter and spring ensured the vines had a good start to the growing season. Leconfield's vines were unaffected by a frost event on 4th November 2017 while warmer conditions in late November and December allowed for quick, uniform flowering providing good fruit set and aided even ripening. From December to mid-April, temperatures were slightly above average and rainfall about 50% below inducing earlier veraison. Conditions provided ideal ripening with the whites being picked in the third to fourth week of February and reds from the third week of March to mid April. With moderate yields and even, gradual ripening, excellent quality has been ensured.
